Chapter 86: Lord Dragon King Joins the Material Competition?
Speaking of the Nintendo DS, it was truly a groundbreaking product. At the time, several competitors had already launched their own handheld consoles. For example, Sony's PSP was a powerful device with outstanding graphics and performance. However, for Nintendo to break through in such a competitive market, it had to offer something truly unique.
Nintendo, like a creative magician, meticulously crafted the NDS, which was truly outstanding. Upon its release, the NDS was like a bombshell dropped into the handheld console market, firmly establishing Nintendo's unparalleled dominance in this field. This isn't to say the PSP wasn't excellent; the PSP certainly had its merits in many aspects, such as its exquisite design, stylish and futuristic appearance, and superior graphics rendering capabilities, all of which were impressive. However, the unique charm of the NDS was simply too dazzling.
The NDS boasts numerous amazing innovations. Take its dual-screen design, for example; it's not simply adding another screen. The top screen displays the game's main visuals, with every detail crystal clear and realistic, immersing the player directly in the game world. The bottom screen offers a variety of functions: it can display a map, allowing players to quickly find their way in complex game environments, like having a personal navigator; it can also display menus, enabling convenient switching between various options while playing the game. This logical and convenient control scheme is unprecedented.
Furthermore, its touchscreen operation provides players with a completely new gaming experience. Unlike traditional handheld consoles that rely on complex button combinations, players can perform various actions simply by lightly touching the screen with their fingers. For example, in some adventure games, players can directly touch the screen to interact with in-game characters, such as petting small animals or picking up items on the ground, creating a feeling as natural as if they were truly immersed in the game world.
It is precisely because of these unique and highly attractive features that the NDS has achieved tremendous success in the market. In some Japanese households, the NDS's popularity is simply unimaginable. You can even see some families owning two or three NDSs. This is because the NDS is not only loved by children, but adults also adore it. For children, the NDS's rich games are like fantastical little worlds, allowing them to play to their heart's content during their free time, such as immersing themselves in Animal Crossing to manage their own island, or engaging in intense and fun races with friends in Mario Kart. For adults, the NDS is not just a gaming device, but also a great companion for leisure and entertainment. They can relax and unwind after a busy day by playing some light puzzle or brain-training games.
However, handheld consoles have consistently struggled in the mainland Chinese market. A major reason for this is the rampant piracy. Back then, a manufacturer called R4 produced flashcarts that were very popular. Of course, besides R4, other manufacturers were also producing similar products. The existence of these flashcarts allowed many people to play various games without going through official channels, significantly impacting the sales of legitimate games.
I used to be a so-called "hacker." It's a little embarrassing to admit, but it was really because my financial situation didn't allow it. For game enthusiasts like me, original game cartridges weren't cheap, and to play a variety of games, I had to use flashcarts. But things are different now. After starting work and having a stable income, I began to support original games. When I bought my first original Switch cartridge, *Aerobic Boxing*, I truly experienced the unique charm of original games. Nintendo's performance in terms of gameplay is truly unparalleled. Each game is like a meticulously crafted little world, full of various interesting elements. Like *Aerobic Boxing*, its gameplay is both simple and challenging, allowing you to enjoy the game while exercising, which made me love Nintendo games even more.
We hope everyone can understand the importance of supporting genuine games, so that more excellent games can be created and the entire game industry can develop healthily and vigorously.
Getting back to the point, the efficiency of these experts and engineers was simply beyond imagination. In just a few days, they designed a similar model to the NDS. This was no simple task; they produced detailed and complete sketches, from the overall outline to the layout of each component, every line was clear and precise, like a work of art meticulously drawn by a master painter.
It also includes a feature description, detailing the various functions this model will have. For example, in terms of gaming experience, it may have a unique control mode, such as innovative button combinations or a brand-new interaction method; in terms of display, it may have a higher screen resolution or special visual effects.
Furthermore, extensive research was conducted on the feasibility of implementation. From a technical implementation perspective, they performed in-depth analysis of the technologies required for each function, ensuring that these technologies were feasible under existing conditions. In this world, some materials are truly unique. Wang Xiaoyi was in the R&D lab, surrounded by a group of experts and engineers, listening to their cacophony of demands. He quickly jotted down his notes. This scene reminded him of a previous audit by a large factory, where a group of leaders sat in a large office meeting, each department head assigning tasks, which he had to write down and complete one by one. However, the difference was that here, these experts and engineers were working for Wang Xiaoyi, and the results belonged to everyone, benefiting the world.
Let's first talk about the "Starstone" used to manufacture the fuselage. This stone exists only in the mysterious Star Ruins. The Star Ruins are shrouded in a powerful magical seal, which shimmers with ancient and mysterious runes, as if telling a story of a distant past. The seal is surrounded by various magical traps, some of which suddenly shoot out sharp magical spikes, others are vortexes that release powerful suction. Furthermore, guardian beasts roam nearby, these beasts taking on various forms, some resembling giant winged lizards, others like skeletal warriors radiating eerie light. The Starstone itself possesses unique magical fluctuations, the frequency of which perfectly matches the conductivity of the fuselage's electronic components. Its texture is incredibly hard, like the finest steel, yet much lighter. It contains stellar power, which optimizes the conductivity of electronic components, like creating a highway for information transmission, greatly improving the overall performance of the fuselage.
Let's examine the "Spirit Crystal Marrow" used in the internal components. It originates from spirit crystal veins, hidden deep within dark underground labyrinths. These labyrinths are permeated with a thick aura of darkness, seemingly concealing countless unknown dangers. Furthermore, they harbor dark spirits that unleash soul shockwaves; these dark spirits are formless and colorless, yet capable of inflicting immense damage on the soul. The Spirit Crystal Marrow, as its name suggests, contains pure soul power. This power provides a stable and enduring energy source for the components. When the components begin to function, the Spirit Crystal Marrow acts like a tireless energy source, continuously providing power. Moreover, it possesses a unique self-repairing function. If the components experience energy fluctuations or minor damage due to unforeseen circumstances, the Spirit Crystal Marrow, like a gentle healer, automatically adjusts its energy output, repairing the damaged parts and greatly extending the lifespan of the components.
There is also the "Phantom Vine," designed for special environmental adaptations. This plant grows in magical areas deep within the Misty Forest. The Misty Forest is shrouded in a thin mist year-round, with sunlight filtering through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows. The Phantom Vine thrives in this humid environment, rich in magical energy. Its stems are incredibly flexible, like the softest silk, able to bend freely without breaking. This flexibility gives it a unique advantage in crafting certain parts, allowing it to adapt to various complex environments. Furthermore, it possesses a degree of magical resistance; when encountering magical interference, a weak magical shield automatically forms on its surface, like a transparent film, blocking external magical energy. In the face of extreme temperature changes, it acts like a clever regulator, automatically adjusting its structure. For example, in high-temperature environments, its molecular structure becomes denser to prevent parts from expanding and breaking due to overheating; in low-temperature environments, it becomes more porous to prevent parts from becoming brittle due to cold.
In addition, there is a precious material called "Phoenix Feathers," which fall from the legendary phoenix. The phoenix is a mythical bird symbolizing rebirth and auspiciousness, dwelling on a distant sacred mountain. The sky around it is always shrouded in brilliant light and protected by a powerful barrier. To obtain phoenix feathers, one must not only break through that barrier but also bravely rush towards the phoenix when it takes flight, attempting to pluck a few feathers from its falling plumes—undoubtedly a very dangerous undertaking.
Wang Xiaoyi said, "Good heavens! Isn't this just giving me a hard time? The materials he wants are rare materials that can only be obtained from difficult or even nightmare-level dungeons. Phoenix feathers? That's from a mythical beast! We wouldn't even have enough lives to pluck its feathers. My small team is only around level 30, going to a place like this? What should we do? Should we go on an adventure to find these materials ourselves, or post a quest at the Adventurer's Guild? If we post a quest, it will cost a lot of bounty money and the time is uncertain, which may delay the research progress."
Wang Xiaoyi's mind raced. Suddenly, he thought of the Elf King Dragon. This was his greatest asset at the moment. If the Elf King Dragon could help, wouldn't obtaining the materials become much easier?
